The myth that Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was the great visionary who single-handedly created modern day Las Vegas is incorrect. Contrary to popular belief, the Flamingo wasn't the first casino on the Strip - though it was the first casino that used a "Beverly Hills style," instead of the "western themes" of the downtown casinos and the El Rancho and Last Frontier.

- Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was born February 28, 1906 in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. His immigrant parents raised five children, including Ben, on the meager wages that a day laborer could bring in. Wikipedia is not trustworthy. The myth that Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was the great visionary who single-handedly created modern day Las Vegas is incorrect. Contrary to popular belief, the Flamingo wasn't the first casino on the Strip - though it was the first casino that used a "Beverly Hills style," instead of the "western themes" of the downtown casinos and the El Rancho and Last Frontier. After unsuccessfully trying to buy into a couple of already established gambling joints in the city, Bugsy finally managed to scare up a partner who shared his dream of Las Vegas as a gaming paradise. Billy Wilkerson was getting ready to break ground on the most luxurious hotel Vegas had ever seen, complete with individual air conditioners, tiled bathrooms and two swimming pools. The Hollywood influence on Las Vegas came from Wilkerson and his long-time architect George Russel. During the 1940s-50s Wilkerson was one of Hollywood's most influential and powerful people, being the founder and publisher of the renowned "Hollywood Reporter" daily newspaper. During the 1940's, Wilkerson built and ran LA's Hollywood-inspired concept to Las Vegas. Bugsy bought a controlling interest in the venture when Wilkerson’s cash flow dried up. Siegel had it in mind to create an oasis in the desert where travelers from both coasts could come for sun, fun, gambling and entertainment. He would woo travelers down from Reno with the finest hotels, food and stars at prices anyone in America could afford. Ben had convinced his fellow racketeers, including Meyer Lansky and Charles "Lucky" Luciano, to pony up a little over a million dollars to build the Flamingo. Most of the money had come from the mob’s earlier success with two smaller-scale casinos in downtown Las Vegas, but many investors had dipped into their own savings, lured by Siegel’s song of immense wealth and quick profits. Soon the costs spiraled upward. The $1.2 million price tag quickly became $6 million and Lansky, Luciano and the other investors became increasingly worried about Ben’s desert dream. By December 1946, a year after the official groundbreaking, the casino had yet to produce a dollar of revenue and was sucking the mob treasury dry. Not only were mobsters deep in debt, but Siegel was going back to his Hollywood friends to get more cash, telling them, "You’re in on the ground floor of the biggest gold mine in the world."
